<p>if you get accepted to UCB most likely you will get into UCLA..
if you get rejected to UCLA most likely you will get rejected to UCB...
(Note: depends on the major but ususally yes.. UCLA is easier to get in)</p>
<p>Thanks luvtoolearn, I take that as a great complement. : )</p>
<p>Oh wow, this thread delivers.</p>
<p>Is that really true that if you don't get accepted by UCLA you have a better chance of getting into Berkeley? I just don't see why that would be.</p>
<p>the two have nothing to do w/ each other, they are independent of each other</p>
<p>Honestly (to the OP) if you can't handle the competition involved in getting in...you are going to really struggle with the competition within the school. Just something you may want to think about.</p>
<p>im pretty sure it doesnt make it anymore competetive as schools factor in the fact that not all admits will enroll in their decision making process... for ex. UCSB admits over 4000 transfers yet they know that only around 1k will enroll, haven frobid that one year all 4k try to enroll, im sure hell would break loose and UCSB would have to call people up and withdraw admission offer...</p>
<p>oh my god, can someone not apply to berkeley just as a challenge to themselves? it's one of those things where someone applies to an ivy-they know they probably won't get in, but it's worth it to try. i've always been told to apply to a few target schools, an absolute safety just in case, and a reach school that even if the situation was perfect to go the possibility probably wouldn't happen, but honestly, stop judging people based on those who apply to berkeley and UCLA (and also USC). it's their wanting to apply, so why the hell should you care? plus as someone pointed out, school accept more than they know will enroll because they know kids will go to other schools.</p>
<p>Riverside does not accept ALL applicants...</p>
<p>If UCLA guaranteed me admission even before I started applying, I wouldn't apply to Berkeley...</p>
<p>What kind of retard are you OP?</p>
